Drift through cathedral-like fjords and sea caves aboard a private Zodiac, with sheer cliff walls plunging into obsidian Arctic waters. This is raw, untouched Nunavut at its most theatrical — a landscape that has barely changed since the Norse first encountered it.
What to expect
Your expert expedition guide reads the tides and wildlife cues before departure, routing you through the most dramatic channels. Towering basalt cliffs rise hundreds of metres as the Zodiac glides beneath nesting seabird colonies. The silence between engine cuts is profound — only wind, wave-slap and the occasional cry of a thick-billed murre. Passengers are issued full dry-suit or expedition-grade float-suit gear for warmth and safety.
Good to know
All-aboard times in the high Arctic are strictly observed; confirm the day's schedule with expedition staff each morning. Wear thermal base layers beneath any provided suit. Camera lens caps must be removed before boarding — the spray comes fast and the light can be extraordinary without warning.
